see hear now is a real-time music and video collaboration that seeks to merge the sonic and the visible, and to transport the performers and audience to a transcendent experience. in our individual work, we as artists are fascinated by sounds and images from nature and life. to create his live improvisations, david begins with the acoustic sounds he draws from his piano, small instruments and found objects. when he expands them through live electronic transformations and spatial diffusion, they retain the power of natural sound. gisela, a photographer, has extended her image making into video and projection. with a system david developed, she performs her imagery with the same immediacy as he performs his music. using multiple video streams, projectors and mirrors, gisela creates ever evolving visual collages of color, movement and rhythm.
